I agree with you on your first point, but in a previous comment you openly associated with the people [burning stuff down].

> No one bears you any ill-will, unless you're a public servant who has murdered someone with impunity recently.

The situation is a lot more nuanced than this and I'm sure you know it. Yes the police is over militarised, yes there's a huge problem with urban killings, but you also don't get to solve those problems with violence.

Consider the black business owners who suffered greatly from the BLM riots.

I agree with your sentiment that violence is not the answer.

I personally harbor no ill-will towards you, and I only ask that you empathize with those who have been at the receiving end of institutionalized violence themselves.
